This is the first I heard of "no RS232". The recommendations I was making were assuming that. You need to define what the other device is. I guess the logic levels are 0 to 3.5V. Are the levels inverted from normal RS-232 like the PIC UART pins? ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
